Hologic, Inc. (Bedford, MA) has sued IZI Medical Products (Owing Mills, MD) for infringement of Patent Nos. 6,577,702, 6,765,984, and 7,502,441 related to cushion compressing surfaces as well as infringement of Hologic’s trade dress in its MammoPad radiolucent breast cushion for use during mammograms.
Both companies sell cushions designed to improve patient comfort during mammograms. Hologic asserts that IZI’s pads not only infringe Hologic’s patents, but also Hologic’s trade dress (basically, use of the color pink on the cushion).
